Chocolate pots de creme on Design*Sponge and links

POSTED ON December 6, 2014

If you didn’t see it already, Design*Sponge recently posted the chocolate pots de creme recipe from my book and a sneak peak of my kitchen. It is a true honor to be featured on such an incredible site, thank you so much Grace!

Below are some of the photos from Design*Sponge. Click here to see more and find the recipe.

I have been overwhelmed by all the positive responses my book has received since it came out. I am deeply grateful to so many awesome bloggers for sharing recipes and for the love and support you’ve all shown through Instagram and email. It has meant so much to hear that my book has helped many of you make positive changes and inspired you to cook! Thank you so much for taking the time to write/photograph and share with others.

I made this for a dinner party last month and loved it. It was slightly too solidly set (if that makes sense) but I probably measured a heaping Tbsp agar flakes (rather than a flat Tbsp – slightly more than necessary probably), and I know how the smallest change in quantity of agar can affect the recipe, as you pointed out in the book. But that said I found that the texture softened nicely when I allowed it to come to room temp before eating. And I loved it with a quick chocolate sauce (warmed coconut oil, raw cacao, and maple) drizzled over.

I’ve really loved reading the article on Design Sponge, and seeing the photos of your beautiful kitchen! Your book has quickly become a favourite of mine and I recommend it often. While I keep it in my kitchen for easy-referencing, I really think that it would be equally appropriate on a coffee table, as the photos are just so gorgeous to look at. I noticed the reference to ABC home for your props in the book (a dreamy land of beautiful things!). Is that where you got the cute little spoon in the pots de creme photo too?

Hi Christine, Thank you so much for writing. I’m thrilled to hear you like the book and recommend it often!
Yes the spoon is from ABC. I found it amongst a pile of old spoons and saw they had more recently. It was pretty inexpensive.
Thanks for all your support!
